Old Paradigm – Newtonian Business

• Systems are mechanical in nature (Newtonian)• What gets measured gets managed• Standard processes drive productivity • Technology is an enabler• Email is the communication of choice• Real change only happens when organizations

fail

Internal And External Change Agents

The Organization

PoliticalThe current and potential influences from political pressures

EconomicThe local, national and world economy impact

SociologicalThe ways in which changes in society affect the organization

EnvironmentalThe local, national and world environmental issues.

TechnologicalThe effect of new and emerging technology

LegalThe effect of national and world legislation

The Effects of Change

The Organizatione.g. Political

The Organization

Amount of ChangeMinimum to allow the organization to regain equilibrium in a Newtonian business world

Type of ChangeHierarchies and structures are preserved and change seen as unwelcome

New Paradigm – Quantum Business

• Systems are organic in nature (Quantum)• What gets measured gets worked around• Creative continuous learning environments drive

productivity • Technology is often a business inhibitor• Email is no replacement for true leadership and

communication• Real change only happens when organizations

dare to fail

The Organizatione.g. Political

The Organization

Amount of ChangeEach cell (team) adapts to differing degrees and re-synchronizes with the whole quantum business

Type of ChangeTeams may come in and out of existence to meet the new challenges and change is both expected and embraced

Outcomes from Quantum Business

• Structures are temporary, project based• Hierarchies inhibit competitive growth• People need to be flexible in their roles and

positions in teams (tricky) • Communication of the changing vision is key• Leadership needs to be displayed at all levels• People need to feel able to fail

Moving from Newtonian to Quantum Business

• Looking over the precipice• Freeing the mind• Creating the dream • Vision to action• Changing what happens• Re-enforcing and continuous change

Changing from the Top

• True leadership over functional management• Behavioural shifts (individual, organizational) • Financial efficiency (cuts, reallocation) • Program improvements • Structural changes (leadership, management,

etc.) • Communications/education strategy shifts • Policy changes
